About us

Department of Science and Humanities has been effectively functioning since 2001. The Department is unstintingly committed to its basic principles of imparting knowledge and preparing the students towards achieving academic excellence through acquisition of core competence in science and humanities, and be successful as engineering professionals.

Department of Science and Humanities encompasses Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English and foreign language courses being offered to all engineering students. Apart from offering mandatory foundation courses in basic sciences, it also offers courses in English and other foreign languages to enrich communication skills and enhance their employability.

The teaching methodology for the courses and laboratory curriculum is regularly upgraded and aligned to meet to the growing demands and the challenging trends of the modern day industry and research.

Message from HOD

Welcome to Department of Science and Humanities (SH), dedicated to ensuring great learning experience to its students. The Department is striving hard towards the goal of providing innovative and quality education with high standard to achieve academic excellence through its dedicated and friendly teaching faculty. The department has remained true to the vision on which it was founded.
We are committed to imparting essential fundamental knowledge in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Communicative English, and Professional Ethics to every engineering student for successful career. The Department facilitates students to achieve excellence in other professional areas, which primarily include professional ethics, communication skills & technical writing leading to placement. The Department has resourceful faculty promoting English language with the sole purpose of giving ample opportunity for improving their communication skills among students. Today’s global requirement places English Communication skills as one of most critical and crucial factor in making the students employable.

The Department offers intense training in spoken English using the Language Lab facilities. The Language Learning Center has various accessories to enhance listening and speaking skills of the students. The Language Learning Center is well equipped with audio and visual aids and self-study materials. All our faculty members engage in research activity. We encourage students to be part of our interdisciplinary research activity and get recognized.

Come and Join GAT, and be part of our journey of attainment

Wishing you all Good Luck

Program Outcomes

PROGRAM OUTCOMES

Engineering Graduates will be able to:

1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.

7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.

8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

Achievements

Over the past several years the Department of Science and Humanities has focused on setting a platform excellence in both students and staff. Some of those highlights are listed below

1. First place in the Inter Collegiate Climate Science Quiz 2016 organized by Divecha Centre for Climate Change and Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, On Tuesday 27 September 2016 at J.N. Tata Auditorium, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore
2. Faculty members of the department have published more than 50 research papers in International & National journals & conferences.
3. Department of Mathematics got a research grant from Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi for carrying out research on “Occultation and Transits in Indian Astronomy-A Mathematical Analysis”

Infrastructure

Science laboratories possess excellent facilities, with a comprehensive range of equipment to explore the modern techniques in physics and chemistry for the students to perform experiments during their course of study. Further, for experiential learning the department strongly promotes online virtual laboratories that are available as open course ware in public domain.

The language lab offers an exclusive result oriented and efficient to enrich the English and other foreign language learning process. Language lab is designed such that the students can actively participate in language learning exercises and get more practice than otherwise possible in a traditional classroom environment.

The software’s at the Language Learning Centre help the students to improve their language proficiency through self-paced practice sessions.

Important Events
